digging in the dirt

It may be the farmer's blood in me, 

but I love digging in the dirt. 

I have been so busy lately with school and work

that I have not had time to plant anything this year.

I definitely do not have time for a full-blown flower bed, 

so I decided to do some planters for the front porch. 

It was so relaxing to sit in the sun and plant my flowers. 

Lowe's has a great selection of "springy" flowers

& there is a cute farmer's market down the street from my house 

that has a good selection. 

Here is the result . . . what do you think?

I think I need to add some yellow flowers. 

The daises in the blue planter will not last long they are 

already on their last leg.

{but they looked so sad all by themselves on the shelf}

So I will probably replace them with some marigolds or something similar.
